Love, love, love my old school 4.7:1 ratio Fritts BPS Crankin reel but it’s getting a little long in the tooth and impossible to find anymore. Any 4.7:1 ratio recommendations?

See if you can find an older Diawa Zillion Crankin reel. I think mine is 4.7 or 4.9. Something like that. Great reel.

The Revo Winch @ 5:1 may be an option for you.
Diawa makes a 4:9 reel for about $80. I have two of them and haven't had any issues in the two years I've used them. I don't recall the model but check the website.
BPS made a pro qualifier a couple seasons ago it was 4.7:1 I put some boca orange ceramic bearings love this combo. if you post in the classifieds there are guys who have them that were never used. you can get em cheap and its a great deep reel. 2nd choice revo winch or curado in 5:1
Lews has a bunch of reel model options with the 5.1 ratio. I personally use the BB1 with the 5.1 for deep cranking.

I use the BB1 and the Abu Garcia Orra Winch, both of them are awesome. I prefer the BB1 over the Winch though.

I have the old Curado greenie 3:8.
The new Daiwa Tatula 150 looks like it would be a good one.

Revo Winch. Excellent deep crank reel.

Someone already hit on the head with the Daiwa Crazy Cranker.. Especially if you can find a few of the original JDM models..
Revo Winch is the cat's meow for deep cranking reels. If $199 for the Winch is on the high side of your budget, take a look at the Revo X at $99. The X is available in a 5 to 1 gear ratio and is an incredible reel for the money.

Lew's now only makes one 5 ratio reel the Super Duty, but you can find used ones. Also Jimmy Boss rod and reel service could rebuild your reel.
